   (about J. Crepieux-Jamin : he is the 'heir' of Father Michon's original work (1871)
    on Handwriting analysis.  Crepieux-Jamin has had a very systematic and rational
    approach (1890 and later). He divided handwriting into 7 families, and each family
    into 'sorts'. The families are : speed, shape, pressure, direction, dimension,
    continuity, organization ('ordonnancement' in French).  With Michon, we can say
    that Crepieux-Jamin is one of the fathers of modern Graphology, and especially
    of the French "school".)
